Practice Kundalini Yoga

The practice of Kundalini Yoga comprises several physical poses (asanas) expressive movements (mudras and chants (mantras, breathing exercises (pranayama), concentration and meditation.



Then again, these poses, breathing exercises, chants and movements should not be confused with stretching exercises or gymnastic exercises or mental gymnastics.

Kundalini Yoga is one of the several types of Yoga. It consists of a set of simple techniques that employs the body, mind and senses all together. The intention is to develop a interaction between "mind" and "body".



Kundalini yoga concentrates on psycho-spiritual growth of a person. It also focuses on the body's potential for maturation. Here it places much emphasis on the importance of the spine and the endocrine system.



This is very important in the understanding of Yogic awakening.

Kundalini Yoga focuses on psychic centers (Chakras) in the body. The point is to produce a spiritual power that is called Kundalini Shakti or Energy. This is the potential form of prana or vital force, which flows throughout the body. However, at most times it is lying dormant in the form of a coiled serpent at the base of the spine.

In Sanskrit the word Kundalini means 'That which is coiled.'. The Sanskrit Kund means "to burn”. Kunda means "to coil or to spiral". However some Yoga experts say that it can be translated to mean 'lock of hair of the Beloved'. Lying dormant at the base of the spine, it can spring awake when activated by spiritual disciplines.

Most practice of Kundalini Yoga include the following features:

• Sitting positions
• Position of the backbone (erect)
• Different breath control techniques to
• Chanting of mantras with and mental focus

Like a few other Yogas, Kundalini Yoga connects physical movement with breathing. It differs inasmuch as its direct focus is on directing energy through psychic centers (Chakras) in the body. This is done by stimulating the energy in the lower chakras and moving it to the higher chakras. The chakras are energy centers, 7 in all. They are located from the base of the spine to the top of the head.
